How to Garden in a Drought (with a Fraction of the Water)

In response to what researchers have dubbed the state’s worst drought in 1,200 years1, California imposed mandatory water restrictions for the first time (ever) last year.2

And this massive drought doesn’t stop with California. Many other Western states are struggling with water shortages, too.

And you know what’s hard to do without water?

Grow food.

The Secret to a Drought-Tolerant Garden

The reality and gravity of the water crisis is troubling — particularly when you consider the impact it could have on food production.

But enough with the doom and gloom! We have good news.

There’s a solution: an efficient, drought-tolerant way to grow food.

Aeroponics — the process of growing plants with water, air, and nutrients rather than soil — uses as little as two percent of the water conventional growing methods use.3 (There are several other benefits of aeroponics, too.)

That’s why we believe aeroponics is the future of growing food… if we want to have a future.

We’re not alone, either. Just look at True Garden in Arizona and Chapala Gardens in California. These are two forward-thinking farms harnessing innovative aeroponic technology to grow food in places afflicted by severe drought.

And farmers aren’t the only ones.

Thousands of people in California, Arizona, and across the country are growing their own food with Tower Garden — advanced, NASA-grade aeroponic technology in a beginner-friendly package.*
